Meet the Archives! Celebrating 50 Years of the Walt Disney Archives

By the D23 Team

On June 22, 1970, the Walt Disney Archives was founded by Dave Smith to collect, preserve, and make available for use the various historical materials of The Walt Disney Company. Fifty years later, we celebrate this history-making—and preserving—department with the incredible staff who have followed his legacy. Join Archives director Becky Cline, meet today’s Archives team, and hear some of their favorite memories of the first half century of this storied department!

Find out how to celebrate the Walt Disney Archives’ milestone anniversary with us all week long here.
